The National Institute in Church Finance and Administration offers specialized training and enrichment for church administrators, business managers, financial secretaries, pastors, and others responsible for administration in local church congregations, church agencies and institutions.  Founded in 1976, the Institute has provided a formative professional experience for hundreds of church business administrators from every region of the USA.

The Institute combines vigorous intellectual challenge with cordial interaction among professional colleagues.  The congenial atmosphere of the seminar setting encourages reflection and renewal, and the distinguished Institute faculty invite dialogue and reciprocal teaching and learning.  Facilities of Candler School of Theology are available for use by seminar members, particularly the Pitts Theology Library, one of the preeminent theological collections in the country.  The Library holds the permanent collection of all projects completed by Institute graduates.

The Institute welcomes applications from persons of all denominations.  The faculty is eager to work with all participants in mutually strengthening a commitment to the church and its ministry.
